Virtio drivers for FreeBSD

14th July 2012
KVM is quickly becoming the de facto standard in virtualisation (dodge this, Vmware!) and today to make the experience even better I stumbled upon _binary_ virtio drivers for FreeBSD.

Thankfully virtio drivers have been available in FreeBSD for a while now, but you had to compile them as they are not included in the base operating system yet.
This is a good example of how to do it: http://viktorpetersson.com/2011/10/20/how-to-use-virtio-on-freebsd-8-2/ btw.

I'm looking forward to official FreeBSD with virtio drivers in the standard base OS.
